what my clients say...
"I have no hesitation in recommending Annabel as a therapist, she is the most gifted healer I have ever met.
Annabel respectfully considers your needs, physically and emotionally before starting her intuitive and powerful treatment. Which always leaves you floating on air, fully rejuvenated and in total harmony with yourself ."

Jane Bungay | Complimentary Therapist
"My husband and I have been visiting Annabel for over 20 years now. Her treatments are tailored to what is needed to create perfect harmony in mind, body and spirit. We cannot compliment her gifted talents enough - her reiki and massage are so relaxing, that it is hard to remove yourself from her healing couch when she’s finished! We highly recommend Annabel, without reservation. Thank you for all the wonderful reiki healing and massage treatments over all these years. Outstanding".
Helen and David Craig | Wimborne
"I had never received reiki healing before I went to Annabel and I can honestly say it's changed my life. Annabel and the reiki introduced me to both powerful and subtle energies that were all around me, that I previously had no idea existed. Having healing sessions with Annabel on a monthly basis has been both grounding and enlightening, as I explore a more spiritual way of life that has opened many unexpected doors. Annabel has over 20 years of experience working with reiki energy, massage and healing. She is also a trained counselor and works intuitively to support my changing needs in each session. Her hot towels, her blended scents and her relaxing music are also wonderfully welcome. Annabel has a beautiful, strong, caring and maternal way of holding space for whatever comes up in the session. You will be in the safest of hands."
Becky Burchell | Creative Producer
"Annabel always gives a calm, gentle and loving treatment, never hurried and always tailored to my needs. I leave with my body and mind feeling balanced, nurtured and so comfortable, a truly special experience given by a very special person."
Karen Francis | Retired Teacher
"I have been going to Annabel for a number of years now, and I can honestly say she is a truly unique and remarkable healer.
She has the most calming and nurturing space, I get to totally let go, relax and receive. I come away feeling, loved, forgiven, healed and released from whatever the world has thrown at me and I’m truly grateful. I am in awe of her genuine care, kindness and support. Her professionalism and remarkable healing hands are a complete tonic. I would highly recommend to everyone and anyone."
Vicki Hunter | Artist, Mother, Grandmother
"I have been benefitting from Annabel’s reiki massage for some time now. Annabel always tailors her message to my current needs. The massage itself feels effective and blissful. I often have issues with aching hands, arms, and shoulders, so extra attention is often given to these areas. I have always found Annabel to be kind, caring, and insightful. I enjoy visiting regularly to support my well-being."
Sue Hart | Reflexologist
"I have a session with Annabel approximately every 6 weeks. I love it! I leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, absolutely refreshed and very glad I’ve booked the next session. I really appreciate that Annabel sits with you beforehand to check if any parts of your body needs special attention. The parts that do always feel great when you leave. I can’t recommend her highly enough."
Sue Burchell | Grandmother
"My well-being, balance and harmony within myself are restored and revitalised by a session with Annabel."
Zoe Heinrich | Grandmother
"I have been seeing Annabel for 4 years now and she is truly amazing. I can’t fully put into words how incredible a session with Annabel is. She has supported me through so much and I am forever grateful to this beautiful soul. From start to finish, a session with Annabel is always spot on. The balance of talking, massage, and healing is on another level and I always leave a better version of myself mentally, physically, and spiritually. The safe space that is held for you every time is phenomenal. I cannot recommend Annabel highly enough."
Charlotte Van-Shelle
"The only trouble with going to Annabel for a massage is that once you’ve been you’re ruined for other masseuse and masseurs. It’s her healing hands, her intuition as to where and how deep you need that magic touch, and the essential oils that lift your spirits and ease your body. I should really say it’s rubbish don’t book, so there’s even more massage for me, but hers is a gift to share with the world."
Lesley Richardson | Media Trainer RNLI
"I met Annabel through a mutual friend during a challenging period in my life marked by anxiety and depression. It felt like the universe brought us together, and it quickly became evident that our meeting was meant to be. Reiki was a new experience for me, and the benefits I've received from Annabel's sessions have been trully remarkable. At the beginning of each session we engage in a one-on-one conversation about any issues that have surfaced. It's a time to open up and share, and Annabel tailors each session to address my specific needs. As a result, my depression has significantly subsided, and my anxiety has greatly reduced. I used to rely on various medications that were prescribed to me, but I'm proud to say that I'm now medication-free.
It's challenging to put into words how reiki works, but I can attest to it's profound healing effects that seem to reach deep into my core. I'm immensely grateful to Annabel for the incredible improvements she has brought to my quality of life."
Simone Weaver | Mother
"I was lucky to have been recommended Annabel as I had been looking for a reiki practitioner. It's hard to put into words my experiences with Annabel. It's like no other reiki treatment I have had. I go into such a deep state of relaxation and afterward feel swept up, and cared for, and often have a release of emotions, but I come away with clarity and answers. All I can say is try a treatment with Annabel, she is warm, genuine, and intuitive and your treatment will be unique to your needs."
Natasha Carikas | Registered Nurse, Mother
"I have known Annabel for many years, both in a professional and a personal capacity. Having trained as a Naturopath, and been practising for 23 years. I have referred many of my patients to see Annabel. I have also personally been seeing Anabel for 24 years now myself.
I would not hesitate to recommend her as one of the best Reiki practitioners I have ever come across. Her natural gift with healing is something that one cannot put into words, one simply has to experience! The treatments with Annabel are the most luxurious, relaxing and healing I have ever had. I challenge anyone to feel differently after a massage and Reiki session with her.
Professional, dynamic, but incredibly personable and sensitive to the needs of the individual patients."
Sarah Burt ND | Naturopath
Sessions with Annabel are truly wonderful. The treatments themselves, whether it be Reiki or massage, are completely relaxing and restorative. Everything from the warm towels, the beautiful atmosphere she creates, to the skill she has of knowing just exactly what your body needs, is off-the-chart special.
The care Annabel provides extends even beyond this though - she holds space in the most sacred way for emotions and thoughts, meaning your heart and soul feel every bit as held as your body.
She is the person I have trusted to help me find my way through some challenging times and I am forever grateful for her gentle wisdom and compassion.
I cannot recommend her highly enough!
